Speech by Jack Lynch, Irish Taoiseach, following violence in Derry,
13 August 1969
It is evident that the Stormont Government is no longer in control of the situation. Indeed the present situation is the inevitable outcome of the policies pursued for decades by successive Stormont Governments. It is clear, also, that the Irish Government can no longer stand by and see innocent people injured and perhaps worse.
I have not said that an anti English song would be illegal in Ireland,I am just saying that The song about Jack Lynch [IMO] is not accurate.what was JackLynch supposed to do[invade the north]
Republicanism is something I support,but the sort of republic, I want is more in line with Jim Larkins ideals,Than Charles Haughey,Why replace one set of exploiters [the English],with someone else trying to feather their own nest, Charles Haughey and his side kick Bertie Ahern [ Bertie Yet to be proven,but IMO up to his neck in it ],or is it ok for the Irish to be exploited providing its the Irish that are doing it.
